Bob or, rather, B.o.B, looks and sounds like a major label project. Am I right?
And the Faithless CD is suffering due to Tesco only sale - am I right?
I hear retailers are pushing the Stones in retaliation - true?
And I hear Justin Bieber's No1 US album only did 60,000 this week - appalling. True?

From Faithless press release;
The Dance.
The countdown is on, the biggest dance band in the UK release their new album 'The Dance' on May 16th exclusively through Tesco and iTunes.

In a bold move to reach out to as many Faithless fans both old and new, 'The Dance' will be available only from Tesco and iTunes. You can pre-order the album from Tesco right now here plus we'll be bringing you a link and store finder app so you can find out exactly where your nearest Faithless album is stocked. Remember that the album will not be available from any other high street or digital retailer at this time so place your orders now at Tesco and look for the download on iTunes.

There are certainly rumours regarding the rest of retail and them pushing the Stones but there's only a thousand or so sales between them

B.O.B. is Bobbhy Ray Simmons, the record is released on T.I.'s label through Atlantic but he has been on the radar for a good couple of years and had a couple of well received singles out prior to this current project. On the album there are numerous 'names' but I don't think it's just a case of a 'big' label push, there is a genuine demand for the record.

Justin sales last week 60,343 copies

Thank you Terrylamps - a mine of information!

I'm from Yorkshire but didn't even realise Leeds Utd had a song out, although I've been more interested in seeing if York city won promotion ... which they didn't. Maybe if York had released a song .....

Re: Justin Bieber - 60k copies of an album isn't bad for a 15yr old. Even if he just gets 50p per copy it's quite a decent weekly wage. I hope he remembers to put some aside for when his voice breaks and the girls begin to lose interest.
